‪Just like our boys in Pyeongchang, we know a medal winner when we see one. Next time Team USA hits the slopes, toast them with an equal: made with Rocky Mountain snow melt, Breckenridge Distillery boasts a Whiskies of the World gold medal best in class. No better pairing. ‬

It was impossible to leave Edradour distillery without picking up something from the shop so I went for this sherried Signatory Ben Nevis having tried it at the bar. In my opinion Ben Nevis is a very underrated distillery and the 10 year old is one of the best bang for buck whiskies out there. Sadly well aged official bottlings are very few and far between anymore and when they do appear are at crazy prices. This was very reasonably priced for its age at just over 100 pounds and a wonderful balance has been achieved here between the slightly funky and feinty (in a good way!) distillate and a long ageing in a good quality refill sherry cask. A real gem of a whisky.
